Abstract: Jordan, where the main office of UNRWA is located, to the Rafah Crossing must cross both the Jordan-Israel and Israel-Egypt borders.This hinders trucks from entering Gaza, resulting in a decrease in nTrucks.In contrast, trucks from Jordan must only cross the Jordan-Israel border to reach the Kerem Shalom Crossing.These factors might have spurred the increase in nT-UNRWA over time.In addition, to reach the Rafah Crossing, trucks conveying relief supplies from Egypt, where the main office of the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC) is located, do not need to cross any borders, whereas to reach the Kerem Shalom Crossing, they must cross the Israel-Egypt border.These factors might have increased the correlation between P-UNRWA and P-Kerem-Shalom-Crossing.Conclusion: To utilize UNRWA aid more effectively, it might be better to develop transportation routes using the Kerem Shalom Crossing.
